Should they be extradited to the U.S. to face our jurisdiction? I don’t think so. I don’t want India to have the power to extradite me if I send an email to a someone in India that they deem blasphemy or destabilizing or whatever. You’re talking about clearcut fraud, which is more sympathetic but the underlying legal precedent is what terrifies me. It is a violation of human rights to subject people to laws that they have no democratic say in. Also, in your example about Facebook, you do have a choice. Leaving aside that they’re global and have an EU presence and should thus be complying, if Facebook was US-based only, you are sending a request to their servers. You’re responsible. Now, maybe the site in question also bears some culpability for what their partners do with their customers’ data, but I don’t see how Facebook is responsible for every law and jurisdiction for where those requests originate. If you don’t want Facebook to have your data, don’t send it to them! Blocking those requests is incredibly trivial, and the onus should be on you the sender, not the receiver.
